Friendship is the pot of gold under the rainbow in Patrice Leconte's entertaining, feather-light buddy movie, in which Daniel Auteuil's François cannot find himself a pal.

Superbly written French comedy with strong characters, some good jokes and a few subtle points to make about the importance of friendship in today's fast paced society.
The entire cast react to this trifle in a way which makes it taste very nice indeed.
There's not a great deal to chew on here beyond a couple of nice performances.
Another breezy effort from Leconte, this anodyne comedy is a typically flimsy piece of French whimsy. Likeable but also easily forgettable.
Daniel Auteuil can never make a bad movie, nor can one believe that he has no friends as he tries to make us imagine, but he's a funny, funny man.
...although there are few surprises to be had within My Best Friend's running time, the movie is rarely boring.
A buddy movie that actually ponders the nature of what it is to be a buddy.
Just [Dany] Boon's scenes and the music track would make a marvellous film on its own.
